Arrive in Borken (Hessen) — the former lignite town on the A49 whose open-cast pits are now lakes — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

Borken (Hessen) in the Schwalm-Eder-Kreis was a mining town for most of the 20th century: lignite from its open-cast pits fed a large power station until the Stolzenbach pit disaster of 1988, which killed 51 miners and hastened the end of mining here in 1991. The flooded pits have since become the Borkener See nature reserve and the Singliser See bathing lake, and the Hessian Lignite Mining Museum keeps the industrial memory alive. Borken has its own junction on the A49 between Schwalmstadt and Kassel and a station on the Main-Weser line. Fritzlar with its cathedral is 15 km north, Kassel about 40 km.
